Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bearing lubrication failure is one of the main reasons for the failure of space-moving mechanisms. Oil-impregnated porous polyimide retainer materials are usually used to solve friction and lubrication problems in the aerospace field. Porous polyimide retainer materials with a micropore structure can be used as lubricant storage and as a migration channel to provide lubricant circulation supply in bearing systems. The tribological properties of porous retainer materials significantly affects the bearing lubrication performance and service life. However, a lack of understanding of tribological mechanisms hinders the optimization design of porous polyimide retainer materials and their applications in other fields.
This Special Issue on the “Tribological Properties of Porous Polyimide Retainer Materials” hopes to attract both academic and industrial researchers to promote innovation in the application of porous polyimide retainer materials, thereby fostering new ideas for future research and expanding knowledge in this field. We sincerely hope that you will accept our invitation to contribute to this Special Issue.
The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Friction and wear properties of porous polyimide retainer materials;
- Lubrication mechanisms of porous polyimide retainer materials;
- Lubricant migration mechanisms of porous polyimide retainer materials;
- Tribological properties of oil-impregnated porous materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
